1994 Braeval 22 Year Old "Munros" K&L Exclusive Cask Strength Unchillfiltered Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (750ml)

Notes

The lovely small batch bottlings in the "Munros" line-up are selected by the small Glasgow Whisky Company and represent some of the best values in single malt scotch today. This small outfit has become an increasingly important player in the sale and bottling of small scale lots of high quality Scotch. The Munros line is a reference to Scotland's 282 mountains over 3000 feet. Explorers across the UK had long considered climbing each peak a rite of passage and likewise the great malts represent the heights of achievement in the eyes of whisky lovers across the world. The Braeval Distillery (formerly Braes of Glenlivet) was built in the early 1970s to help sustain the growth of the popular Chivas Brand. It has yet to be sold by the owners regularly as a single malt, but we've had success with a few from various independent bottlers over the years. Here the malty fruity character of the spirit is heightened perfectly after over two decades in fresh American Bourbon barrels. Like all the Munros this is a small batch of sequential casks and bottled without chill filtration or reduction of any kind. Expect a very easy drinking speysider focused on fruity malt, vanillas and subtle spices. A gorgeous example of this unsung little distillery.
